Alger County mileage case sparks high stakes dispute
Lansing reports the Cook versus Powers mileage dispute centers on whether the two houses may determine mileage for members and staff and whether the auditor general can countersign. Miller argues each house has sole power over mileage and that questioning travel routes or calculations would undermine legislative prerogative, with Judge Cooley cited on proper methods of information. The note also covers Pratt bribery verdict, heavy snows in Escanaba and Houghton, Knights of Columbus gathering in Detroit, new Michigan corporations, pensions, and other statewide items.

Runaway Balloon Landing Ends Safe After Two Hour Flight
San Francisco reports nine occupants of a captive balloon car landed safely Sunday after drifting over two hours. The craft, blown toward the ocean, was guided back to land by a strong breeze, with passenger groups including E. P. Dudley, A. L. Dodge, Ed Foster Jr, Walter Leon, and Mrs J P Guasaulus among those aboard. The rope broke near Beattie Thomson’s land, stopping the balloon as residents aided a controlled descent. The group described a terrifying voyage with some sickened passengers before a safe landing six miles from Pescadero.
